September 2020
There won’t be any relief from the ongoing disruption in our lives this September. Mars is strong in his own sign Aries and starts to repeat his moves when he turns retrograde on September 9. Get your new work started before then. Both Jupiter (September 12) and Saturn (September 29) turn direct. Those who have personal planets in 17-30 degrees of Capricorn will be benefited and restricted. Grab the opportunities that present and be smart about dealing with them.
The best way to go through September is to be practical and keep your feet on the ground.
Fall begins on September 22.
September 1 – Moon in Pisces. This is the most mystical full Moon of the year. Start the new month with mediation, prayer, and setting a spiritual intention.

It’s a powerful day to let go of old opinions and reflexive responses.
September 2 – Moon in Pisces. You will be flexible enough to make a change in your lifestyle. Venus contacts Saturn to find out what needs to go, and who and what are firm fixtures.

Find some way to be competitive and try to beat your personal best.
